For various remarks I’ve made this weekend while we watched the endless coverage before and after the passing of Pope John Paul II my husband has declared that I am (or will be) the marshmallow on the end of Satan’s stick.

Satan’s Marshmallow. That’s me.

Should I change my SD name? It’s just so much better than velvetjones.

OOH! I like it! You could be the marshmallow on Satan’s s’more. I think I’d stick with **velvetjones** though, just in case Satan doesn’t like marshmallows. You could be **velvetjones** aka **Satan’s Marshmallow**.

I like it. Go for it, make the switch.

That way, by brain will stop forcing me to read your posts in Eddie Murphy’s stilted, reading-off-the-cue-cards Velvet Jones-style.  
Really…it took me five minutes to read your OP because of that.

I am so glad to discover that I’m not the only one who hears Eddie whenever reading a **velvetjones** post.

And I think **Satan’s Marshmallow** has a nice ring to it. Evil, yet soft and squishy and sweet. The only possible improvement might be changing your name to **Cthulhu’s Junior Mints**.

You have no idea how funny this is (to me anyway), please change your name to **Satan’s Marshmallow** with all due haste.

If that’s not a band name I don’t know what is.

Thanks **Devil’s Grandmother** as long as it’s OK with the family…

You know **Draelin** Evil yet soft and squshy and sweet really does kind of describe me. Hmmmm

BTW - is it wrong to refer to the college of cardinals as bird school? Just wondering. 🙂

Hate to be a dissenting voice, but might this not cause confusion with our now-departed **Satan**?

I doubt it, but I like **velvetjones**. Here’s my vote to stick with it.

“Hi, I’m Velvet Jones, and this is my book: HOW TO BE A HO!”

Well, maybe the admins will finally allow custom titles. That way you’d be able to use both names at once.

I wouldn’t hold my breath, though.

I probably will stick with **velvetjones** (and my apologies to those of you who hear voices in your head, that’s really not my fault, really)

But to my husband I’ll forever be Satan’s Marshmallow. I spend my days now trying to live up to the name. I’ve managed to make him visibly cringe and back away several times in the past couple of days so I’m on a roll.

**Rhubard** or a book title or maybe a movie. Don’t worry, I’ll cut you in for a percentage. 😃

Now that is brilliant. I would have no objections to that.

If there’s going to be a trend toward names based on things celestial and ex-celestial entities roast on sticks, who’s going to be **God’s Wiener**?

I like **God’s Wiener** even better than Satan’s Marshmallow but alas, I’m afraid I don’t have the equipment to pull that one off. (no pun intended)

Besides, if Satan’s Marshmallow is evil yet squishy and sweet what is God’s Weiner? Good yet savory and phallic?

What about **Zeus’s Waffle** or **Odin’s Pancake** or **Buddha’s Thermos**? Gotta represent here, people…
